Since about 2 months ago I've been trying to lose weight, mainly due to unbelievable back pain. When I started, I weighed about 200lbs.
At the weekend my sister and I spotted some scales in a shop and decided to try them. I stood on them a couple times and every time the reading was about 170lbs.
However, at the doctor's yesterday morning, she weighed me and it came back at 196lbs?! That puts my BMI at obese!
The thing is, I certainly do not look even CLOSE to obese! I've been taking my measurements regularly since I started losing weight and they've decreased a LOT. My body has slimmed down to the point where I can see the beginnings of a thigh gap, if I stretch I can see my ribs poking out and my shoulder blades are also poking out.
So my question basically is this, how can there be a 26lb difference in the space of 3 days? For the record, my doctor just uses an ordinary step on scale with the face and the arm that spins around, not a proper scale with the weights.
